  abstract = {Eclampsia is generally preceded by preeclampsia or proteinuric hypertension after the twentieth week of gestation. Only ten cases of eclampsia were reported in the presence of a foetus before 20 weeks of gestation over a 120 year   epoch. It is usually believed that preeclampsia occurring before the twentieth week of gestation tends to occur in the presence of a molar pregnancy or the presence of lupus anticoagulant in the pregnant patient. The occurrence of eclampsia in a multiparous patient all of whose previous pregnancies were by the same consort and who presented at 17 weeks and 3 days gestation was an obvious diagnostic dilemma. Not only was it difficult to make the initial clinical diagnosis, it also proved quite a challenge to the histologists. After much consultation, the histologist agreed that the histology of the placenta was suggestive of a condition called placental mesenchymal dysplasia.  },
